Chapter 552: Money rolling in, what a good meaning!
Ever since Song Ruyan gave birth, Dr. Qian has been both the father and the mother, and he also has to take care of this ancestor.
Song Ruyan stretched out her finger, carefully touched her son's wrinkled little face, and grinned, a smile full of pride and complacency.
"As expected of my son, he's tough!" she declared proudly. "I've even thought of a name!"
Doctor Qian's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again. He had a bad feeling: "What do you want to call?"
"Money rolling in!" Song Ruyan said confidently, "Money rolling in, what a good meaning!"
"puff--"
Chu Ruohan, who was drinking tea to calm herself down, almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Doctor Qian's face turned from pale to ashen blue, and then from ashen blue to the color of liver at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He pointed at Song Ruyan, his fingers shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
"You...you...are just kidding! This is just nonsense!" He was so angry that he was spinning around in circles. "How can a descendant of my Tian family have such...such a vulgar name! No! Absolutely not!"
"How is it vulgar?" Song Ruyan was unconvinced. "It's more down-to-earth! More practical! Should I call it something like zhihuzheya? It sounds so shabby!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel over a name, Chu Ruohan hurried forward to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright. Ruyan is still in confinement after her baby's birth, and Doctor Qian is exhausted from a long night. Let's both stop talking."
She looked at the baby sleeping soundly in the cradle, then looked at Gu Junze who had rushed over after hearing the news, with a smile in her eyes.
Gu Junze walked to the bedside, took a look at the pink little ball, and said in a deep voice: "He is a blessed child."
He looked at Doctor Qian again and said in a tone that brooked no argument: "The name must be resounding and majestic, so as to suppress the fate of this child."
Doctor Qian seemed to have found his backbone and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right!"
Song Ruyan wanted to say something else, but Chu Ruohan gently held her hand.
Chu Ruohan whispered a few words in her ear, and Song Ruyan curled her lips and finally stopped insisting.
Finally, Gu Junze pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call him 'Zhenyun'. Qian Zhenyun, his reputation is like thunder, soaring to the sky."
"Qian Zhenyun..." Doctor Qian savored the name, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. Finally, he clapped his hands and praised, "Good! What a good name! Thank you, Duke, for the name!"
The naming controversy was finally settled.
During the confinement period, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was always bustling with activity.
Chu Ruohan comes to visit Song Ruyan and her son almost every day.
Song Ruyan was a person who could not sit still. She complained that the confinement period was like being in prison, but her body was honestly enjoying Dr. Qian's meticulous care.
One day, when Chu Ruohan brought Xuan Ge'er and Xiao Qingchen here, she saw Song Ruyan directing the maid to bring her snacks, while Doctor Qian was earnestly advising her to avoid certain foods.
Little Qingchen could walk steadily now. He ran to the bed and curiously peeked inside the swaddling clothes.
Xuan Ge'er bowed politely before walking to his sister and looking at the sleeping baby.
"Mom...little, little..." Xiao Qingchen stretched out his finger and wanted to poke Xiao Zhenyun's face, but was stopped by Chu Ruohan with her quick eyes and hands.
"Don't mess around, my brother is sleeping."
Xiao Qingchen puffed out his cheeks, tilted his head, and was extremely curious.
A servant came outside the door and said that Yuling and Manager Qin had returned to visit.
Soon, Qin Fang came in supporting Yuling.
Yuling was wearing a new lake green dress and an exquisite pearl hairpin on her head. Her eyes showed the gentleness and satisfaction of being a wife. When she saw Chu Ruohan, her eyes were filled with tears and she bowed politely.
"lady."
"Hurry up." Chu Ruohan helped her up personally, holding her hand and looking at her carefully. "You look good. It seems that Qin Fang has taken good care of you."
Qin Fang stood aside and smiled innocently.
Yuling's cheeks turned slightly red. Seeing Song Ruyan on the bed and the baby beside her, she was very happy and quickly presented the prepared gift.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Chu Ruohan took Yuling to her own yard and asked her to say some sweet words.
"Is Qin Fang treating you well?" Chu Ruohan poured her a cup of tea.
Yuling nodded, her eyes filled with a happy smile, "Qin Fang...he always obeys me in everything. This servant...my current life is all given by Madam."
"Silly girl, you deserve it." Chu Ruohan looked at her, her heart filled with relief. "Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved."
As he was speaking, a eunuch from the palace came to deliver an imperial decree, saying that the Empress had heard that Doctor Qian had given birth to a son, and had specially sent a reward.
The gifts sent were extremely luxurious, from longevity locks to gold and jade trinkets, all of which were exquisite items.
After the eunuch read out the rewards, he politely conveyed a few words of greeting from the queen and then took his leave.
Yuling looked at the table full of rewards and sighed, "The Queen still has feelings for Madam."
Chu Ruohan looked at the cold rewards with calm eyes.
She picked up a rattle with a gold handle and a drum head inlaid with gems. It made a crisp sound when shaken, but it was not as humane as an ordinary wooden one.
She smiled, put the rattle aside, and said calmly: "Yes, Queen, you are always thoughtful."
That thoroughness, separated by the palace walls and their identities, could no longer bring back the Su Wan who used to chat and laugh with him arm in arm in the Duke's Mansion.
She felt a little disappointed, but it was gone in a flash.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows under the corridor very long.
Gu Junze had just returned from the palace. The lights in the house had already been turned on, and the warm yellow light softly reflected on Chu Ruohan's face.
She was sitting beside the couch, watching Xiao Qingchen tirelessly pushing a little wooden duck, which made a clattering sound back and forth on the ground.
Hearing the noise, Chu Ruohan raised her head and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Little Qingchen also stopped, turned his little head, and looked towards the door with a pair of big eyes like black grapes, shining brightly.
When she saw that the person coming was Gu Junze, she immediately dropped the little duck, opened her short arms, and stumbled over with her short legs.
"Daddy, hold me!"
The cold and hard lines on Gu Junze's face melted instantly. He bent down, stretched out his long arms, and easily picked up his daughter, and kissed her on her pink face.
Little Qingchen was lifted high up, and her vision suddenly widened. She giggled excitedly, waving her little hands restlessly, and grabbed Gu Junze's hair.
Chu Ruohan shook her head helplessly, "This kid is so naughty, she's almost plucked my hair out."
Gu Junze didn't care and let his daughter grab his hair. He even lowered his head deliberately to make it easier for her to grab it.
He looked at Xiao Qingchen's smug smile, his eyes full of doting.
"Our Qingchen is so strong?" He nuzzled his daughter's nose and teased her, "Do you want to pull out all of Daddy's hair so you can make a new hat for Mommy?"
Little Qingchen didn't understand such complicated words. She just felt that her father was playing with her. She laughed even more happily and tightened her grip on her hair.
Only then did Gu Junze cry out "Ouch" and pretend to be in pain.
Then he easily freed his daughter's little hand from his hair and held her in his arms in a different position.
He carried his daughter to Chu Ruohan and sat down next to her. His eyes fell on her slightly tired face. He stretched out his other hand and gently stroked her temples.
"Are you tired today?" His voice was low and gentle, dispelling the dust and majesty on his body.
"Not bad." Chu Ruohan shook her head, leaned on his shoulder, and watched her daughter gradually calm down in his arms.
"The mansion has been bustling all day, with Yuling, Ruyan, and the Queen's reward. It feels like one thing after another."
His eyes swept over his daughter who was beginning to doze off in his arms, and then landed on Chu Ruohan's face, a smile playing on his lips.
"With this little thing making noises, and Xuan Ge'er accompanying us, there's no way we'll be idle." He rested his chin on the top of her head and whispered, "From now on, it will only get more lively."
Chu Ruohan hummed, buried her face in his neck, and sniffed the familiar scent on him. The emptiness and melancholy in her heart seemed to be filled in an instant.
Xiao Qingchen in my arms had closed his eyes, his little mouth slightly open, and he was breathing evenly.
Gu Junze held his daughter and embraced his wife, and felt that all his fatigue and all the troubles in the court disappeared at this moment.
All the prosperity in this world is ultimately not as good as a light at home and a wife and children by your side.
